This would seem pretty easy to resolve. Someone who has credibility in these forums needs to get some Good condition coins and weigh them to see...
I weighed several standing liberty quarters on a triple beam balance scale. They were more than 10% under weight and still had readable dates.
Please cite the case you mention in your post. Thanks.

Now the generic at APMEX seems to be .39 over for more than 200 ounces and .79 over less than 200 ounces. Often there are coupons available. ymmv...
